Vermont State Police say a 53-year-old Troy resident, David Briggs, was taken into custody on January 17, 2026, at approximately 9:45 a.m. The arrest occurred at a residence on Loop Road while police were investigating an unrelated matter.
According to police reports, Briggs had an outstanding arrest warrant for failing to appear in Orleans County Criminal Court on January 13, 2026. The warrant was related to charges of criminal refusal to provide an evidentiary sample, classified under Vermont statute 23 VSA 1201(j) and 1202(d)(6)(c). Police confirmed the warrant before apprehending him without incident.
Briggs was subsequently transported to the Northern State Correctional Facility, where he was held on $200 bail. The charges against him are allegations and will be addressed in court. Further legal proceedings will determine the next steps in this case, and updates may arise as it progresses through the judicial system.
The Vermont troy arrested situation continues to develop.
